COMBINATION COIN PURSE AND POWDER PUFF.

Application filed December 16, 1922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THEODORE W. SOHRAMM, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Bay City, in the county of Bay and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Coin Purses and Powder Pufl's, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved combination toilet article and coin purse.

One object of the invention is to providea flexible powder puff having a coin receptacle or pocket formed therein, and which is provided with means for locking the said pocket to prevent the displacement of the coins.

Another object is to provide a flexible owder pufi having a second pocket in whic the powder supply can be carried, this powder supply being in the form of a compact cake.

A further object is to design a novel flexible toilet article having the coin andpowder containing pockets formed therein, which can be concealed in the front of the ladies waist or garment, relieving the lady of the necessity of carrying a purse and vanity box, and eliminating the possibility of smearing and soiling the wearing apparel of the lady.

The above and other Objects will appear as the specification progresses, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views thereof.

In the drawing Fig. 1 is an edge view of my improved toilet article illustrating the coin pocket in open position.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Fig. 3 is also an edge view similar to Fig. 1 but illustrating the closing means for the powder containing pocket.

Fig. 4 is a view illustrating the puff folded for carrying in the front of the waist or garment.

Fig. 5 is an edge view of a receptacle or holder having a powder compact therein, and

Fig. 6 is a bottom view illustrating the small mirror in. the bottom thereof.

It is at present customary for a lady to carry either a powder puff or a vanity case when on the street or visiting, when pro- Serial No. (SO'ZAEB.
